With the arrival of reinforcements, the newly formed infantry units outside the Kings Castle have reached the scale of seven battalions.

Among them, there are two battalions of Baishan County Infantry Regiment, Leiqun County Infantry Regiment, Tiefeng County Infantry Regiment, and one battalion of Bianjiang County Infantry Regiment.

However, since the battalions are generally dissatisfied with the organization, the total force is less than 3,000.

There are still too few big cities like the Kings Castle.

Jansen Conelis has many wrong perceptions of the "Fourth Republic", but one thing he judged was extremely accurate:

At the Battle of Hegu Village, the "rebels" only had a miserable victory. In just one month, it was far from enough to restore them to their fullest state.

However, in addition to the infantry of the seven battalions, the rebels also had at least a thousand light and heavy cavalry.

Therefore, the southern front troops in the Kings Fort showed no sign of leaving the city to fight, and squatted behind the trenches, waiting for the "rebels" to come into contact with them on their own initiative.

So, for Richard Mason, how to allocate every manpower more efficiently is the key to winning.

[Siege Camp]

Before dawn, the students from the Second Army Academy were dragged out of the tent by the harsh military horns and gathered in the open space with sleepy eyes.

Richard Mason appeared in front of the queue and said a few words of encouragement to the preparatory students.

In fact, John Jeska did not arrange this process, but Mason was always a little uneasy, so he came here specially. After all, his name was written in the column of the General Affairs Director of the "Second Academy" roster.

Then, the reserve officers with empty stomachs were taken out of the camp.

Hou Deer was in the queue and followed him in a daze, not knowing where he was going, and he didn't dare to ask.

The moon has already fallen, and even if it doesn't fall, it is as small as a tooth mark and is useless.

In the long team, only the head and the tail of the team lit a few torches, and most of the reserve officers could only pull the belts of the people in front and advance in the darkness.

He stumbled to somewhere, and the only torch was trampled, leaving only the district captain carrying a specially made lantern with very dim light.

The reserve officers were dispersed into smaller teams according to their class and continued to march.

...

Due to well-known reasons, the first enrollment scale of the "Erth Second Academy" far exceeded expectations, and the quality is uneven, with mud and sand, which completely lost the original school management plan.

So a certain vice principal who is now Shenyin made the decision and simply did not divide the new students into subjects for the time being. After the basic course is completed, the students will be assigned directions.

In this process, you can also screen out some people who should have been screened out during the entrance examination, but because the passing standards are too low, they cannot be screened out.

Therefore, the "class" of the Second Academy is not linked to the military service, but is just a group of living and studying. Each class has a total of 30 people and is managed by a district captain.

The district captain of the class where Houdel is located, it was just a coincidence that the baby-faced lieutenant who always appeared next to Principal Jeska.

None of the staff of the Second Academy had a lot of things on them, but the baby face and limbs were healthy.

The students were curious at first, what exactly is missing from baby face?

Until later, there was a rumor that baby faces were actually prisoners.

This makes sense, the students lost curiosity and respect for baby faces.

However, Houdel was extremely well-behaved in front of the baby face and tried his best to prevent others from causing trouble for the baby face.

Because when the baby face walked into the classroom with a smile and announced to the class where Houdeer was their district captain, Houdeer immediately recognized:

This baby face was the prisoner who was very close to the Blood Wolf when he first saw the Blood Wolf, who was practicing swords with the Blood Wolf outside the prisoner-of-war camp.

Even if it was burned to ashes, Hou Deer would not forget the "flattering" smile on his face when Baby Face grabbed the kettle to the Blood Wolf before him.

...

There are thirty people in the class of Houdel, divided into two columns, following behind the baby face.

For some reason, the more I walked forward, the more tense the atmosphere became.

The baby-faced face also disappeared. He squinted his eyes, pursed his lips, and carefully glanced at his feet, as if he was looking for something.

As we walked, light lit up in front of us.

At first glance, Houdel thought it was a firefly, but he soon realized that the light was actually in a very far direction and was moving left and right.

Just as Houdel tried to identify what the light source was, a red light suddenly flashed in the direction of the light source.

Immediately afterwards, two sounds—the dull thunder and the strange sound of breaking through the air—came into Houdeer's ears almost at the same time, and the latter sound made Houdeer instantly get goosebumps.

"Cannon!" Hou Deer screamed, and pulled the classmate beside him, and he didn't know which classmate he was. He ignored the decentness and fell to the ground.

In fact, when Houdeer heard the sound, the shells had already arrived, but the landing point was far away from Houdeer's location, so many students in Houdeer's class did not realize that the shells were passing by him at all. Instead, they were shocked by Houdeer's strange scream.

But soon, everyone lay on the ground like Houdel - because red lights were lit up one after another in front of them, and the rumbling thunderbolts woke up the earth.

Now, even the slowest person realized that it was a cannon.

All the students were lying on the ground and dared not move.

"Where are you bringing us?" Houdel asked Babyface angrily, angrily, without caring about the silence regulations of the night march.

"What else can it be?" The baby face looked innocent. He didn't lie on the ground, but just half-squatted, with a very calm posture. "Of course it's the Kings Castle."

Houdel obviously felt the classmate beside him trembling for a moment. He didn't know what to say, so he could only curse angrily, "[Palatu dialect swears]!"

"Caller Houdel, you deduct one point," the baby face showed the kind of kind smile he introduced himself to the whole class, and then said to the other reserve officers with a smile, "Don't worry, at this distance, only the unlucky people will be hit by the shells. Stand up and keep walking, not yet reach the place."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! After that, he stood up first, carried the lantern, and continued to walk forward.

The students looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. Finally, they got up one after another, bent over, bent their knees, and followed carefully.

It was at this moment that Hou Deer realized that the baby face was not walking around.

On the ground, whether it is the way you come or the way you are ahead, they are guided by a white line.

Houdel twists the white powder that forms the lines.

Hum? Lime?

The route planned in advance, and thinking of the first lecture by the General Affairs Chief, Houdel's heart, which was hanging in his throat, finally let go of it again - he thought that the young man, Kadal Lagre, was going to take them to surrender to the enemy.

Sure enough, I walked a short distance forward and finally found what I was looking for.

He stopped in front of a small pile of stones.

It was a small pile of triangles built of stones, which was very inconspicuous. If it weren't for smearing lime on everyone's side, it would be hard to say whether Kadal would have misled it.

"Okay, it's here," Kadal turned around and greeted the students: "Sit down and rest on the spot."

"Resting here?" Some students were shocked, "But the cannon..."

Kadal hid his contempt for the half-baked guys and still smiled, "Didn't I say it? You are safe in this distance."

"But……"

Kadar sat directly next to the pile of triangles, picked up a stone stained with white ash, and signaled to the students present:

"Did you see this stone? This was arranged by Major Richard Mason himself. Major Mason can go to danger in person. What are you afraid of?"

After saying that, Kadal blew out the lantern and "rest in place."

Losing the only light source, the surroundings were completely dark, and only lights were seen in the direction of the king castles in the distance.

It is impossible to leave, so whether you are willing or reluctant, all thirty students sat down.

Houdel was the first to sit down, to be precise, he lay down directly - anyway, no one could deduct his points even if he was not upright.

Claude quietly touched the monkey and bit his ear and asked, "Do you know what baby face is going to get us here?"

Houdel thought for a while and suddenly burst into laughter, "I guess it was digging the toilet."

"No, you..." Claude was a little anxious.

"Don't believe it?" Hou Deer pretended to be profound, "Let's go and see."

The defenders of the Kings Castle seemed to have discovered that the "rebels" were too far from the city wall, and firing fired at this time was a waste of ammunition.

It may also be because the baby face blew out the lights and they completely lost their goal.

In short, the defending cannons did not fire anymore, and even the fire on the city wall was extinguished, which allowed Houdel to get a chance and secretly nap.

Just as Houdel was half asleep and half awake, someone touched him and touched his shoulder.

"Who?" Houdel was startled and almost bounced off the ground.

The person who came to look for Houdel was also startled, but he quickly reacted and revealed his identity, "I want to say thank you to you."

Only then did Houdel realize that the person who woke him was the guy who was pressed down by him during the first shelling.

Hou Deer was woken up at the critical moment of sleeping. However, he still held back and did not get angry. He wiped his saliva and nodded perfunctorily, "A small matter, that shot may not be attacked at us."

The students who came to thank him also found that they had disturbed Houdeer's good dream, so they were very sensible, so they thanked him again and left.

Houdel fell to the ground again, and by the time he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn.

Two carriages came to everyone, and the baby face called out all the students and led everyone to remove shovels, pickaxes and stacks of half a person-high weaving baskets from the carriage.

After unloading the goods, the carriage left. They could not stay here for too long, otherwise the shelling would arrive soon.

"Are you ready to rest?" Kadal picked up a shovel and drew a line on the ground casually, "Then dig it out."

"Dig...what?" Some students were puzzled.
